5.0 out of 5 stars Inside the birth of The New Yorker and Algonquin Round Table, April 9, 2006
By 
This review is from: Ross, The New Yorker and Me (Hardcover)
Jane Grant is the un-sung hero of The New Yorker. It was Grant -- wife of editor Harold W. Ross -- who pushed him to get the magazine off the ground. In this amazing book, it tells how she met and married the man, but this is just the beginning of the partnership. It tells of the roots of the Round Table -- which were in Paris, where Grant was stationed with the Americans (as a singer). Grant is a wonderful writer with an eye for detail. It has first-hand stories about life with Ross, Alexander Woollcott, Dorothy Parker and the others. The introduction is by her clsoe friend, Janet Flanner. It was Flanner in her "Letter From Paris" that helped usher in a new kind of journalism. It was Grant who brought Flanner to Ross' attention. The rest, as they say, is history. If you love The New Yorker, you'll treasure this book. Many archival photos too.
